Okay i just ordered my Epox 8KHA, so what processor should i get. I am thinking about the 1500 XP amd , looks like the best band for my buck . yes or no ?
As a recent convert to EPoX, I too can vouch for their awesome board. Between the DDR and the stability, it's nearly impossible to beat it...especially since the price is in the realm of the "Budget Boards".
And overclockability? Take a look at my signature and you'll get the picture... and I'm confident that it will do more since I haven't even had time to properly tweak the board settings yet. :D

I would go with the Athlon XP 1600+
It can easily do the same clock speed as the 1800+ and is a only a few buks extra. Plus, I cant even seem to find the 1500+ for sale at the online stores I frequent....
The 1600+ is a mere AU$270
Which would be next to nothing in US $$$
My friend is looking at Athlon XP CPUs at the moment, and we were going through pricing. I suggested he buy the 1700+, it seems to be the best value currently. The 1600+ was only $35 cheaper, and the 1800+ was a whopping $190 dearer :eek:
GREAT!! the moron store i purchased from never returned my phone call or email. About wanted to get the "+" board and Now i just got a email from FEXex saying something is coming my way! ACK!!!!!!! I hate returning stuff!

If your not an overclocker - the 8KHA will probably suit you just fine
But if your looking for stability @ a 180+FSB & want every last little bit of memory bandwidth - go through the hassle to get the plus, you'll be glad you did
